Ranveer Singh is the man of the moment with him single-handedly delivering 500 crore nett box office in India with his two huge blockbusters ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Simmba’. With him giving such astronomical collections in a single calendar year, Ranveer has also recorded an outstanding feat of being the second person ever, after Salman Khan, to deliver this feat.

Taking about his incredible success, Ranveer tells Bollywood Bubble, “As an artist, I have always wanted to entertain audiences, at the same time offering something new to them with every film, with a constant endeavour to push myself to evolve as an actor. With Simmba again, I was doing something absolutely new, thus adding a new dimension to my repertoire.”

He adds, “I had never done this kind of out and out masala entertainer – a kind of movie I had always wanted to do and I gave it my all. I wanted to bring in my own touch, my own understanding of the commercial masala movie hero and I’m happy everyone has loved that. I’m extremely grateful to the audience and the critics for the love they have showered on my performance and on the film. It is encouraging and truly humbling.”

The actor will be next seen in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Gully Boy’. In the film, Ranveer will be sharing the screen space with Alia Bhatt for the first time.
